The Shimano Stradic ci4+ is no longer in production. Because the buyer gets confused with the FL it has been replaced by the new 2021 Vanford. The nasci and ultegra series have both been updated this year as well. So when is the new video coming out? :-)
@@yo_sp33d34 I am sorry. I am keeping both because they are REALLY rare. I felt really lucky to have found two 🙏. I might use one but will lock one up as collector’s. BUT if you make me a good offer, I may reconsider….

The nasci is trash. Bought 2. They both had the same freaking problem after a few outings and ended up in the trash. After some use the main gear rubbs on some kind of slider device every single time it passes under the gear.
Shimano Nasci is considered one of the best lines within the brand in terms of cost / benefits ... it has high-end reel technology at a very good price. Maybe you just had bad luck with those two units in particular.
I personally like Diawa and Shimano but they are very over rated. Are they smooth? Hell yeah but they break sooooo easily. I have had a Revos and Regal break on me within a year. While my Quantum Throttle II is just as smooth, has a full aluminum body, 11BB and laser cut aluminum gears all for the same price as the Revos. Please everyone don’t not buy Shimano or Diawa. Buy Quantum. They are better for less money. If you want a great $30 reel Quantum has the Strategy. It’s a 6BB aluminum handle, rubber grip nice / thick bail wire and it’s sooo smooth for the price. PFlueger also makes just as good if not better reels for less.
Thanks for your comment TIGHTT88. I'm sure our FishingPax community will much appreciate it when they are looking for alternative spinning reel brands to buy.
